Contemporaries.

contemporaries.
McGregor Plsindealer: TIE GA
zETTE is surely coming to the front
and getting to deep water and is rapidly
downing the CD. News. We believe
in the survival Of the fi:test. Merit Will

Wills Point Chronicle: The Fort
Worth GAzETTE displays it's character

by its impartial and full report of the
anti-prohibition grand rally.
GAINESVILLE Times: There IS no better
paper in the south than THE GAZETTE.
1t is Democratic 10 the core.
Mexia Democrat: The Fort Worth
GAZETTE IS doing more good solid work
for the perpetuity of the Texas Demo
crazy than the two Newses, Barlow,
Clark, Mills, and the whole layout ere
doing.
Montague Democrat: TIE GAZETTE
has done more to build up Fort Worth
than any other genCy.
Terrell Times: The GAZETTE, however,
is broad-gauged paper and did full Just
ice to the occasion. Though its predi-
lections are with the pros, THE GA
ZETTE'S account OF the meeting was very
full.
Weathertord News: Everybody knows
THE GAZETTE daily and weekly is the
best paper in the southwest, aud so we
say nothing in its praise lest we be cen
sured with giving our big brother tafy.
Take it; read it; get knowledge and be
happy.
Graham Leader; THE GAZETTE is bid
ding for the proposed psper mill to be

wlen THE GAZETTE falls TO put in bid

Wolfe City News. There is no mistak-
| ing the fact that THE GAZETTE is the
coming daily of Texas. She has the
tdree essentials, backbone, brains and
cheek.
Dalngerfeld Tidings: This week we
publish an article from the Fort Worth
GAZETTE csptioned democrats and
Democrats" 1t is given for what it is
worth. We look upon il as g very sensl-
bic end level-headed article. TIE Ga
ZETTE is loyal Democratic paper, and
has fought faithfully in this campaign in
behalf Of Democracy, insisting that q
man can vote for prohibition and still be
true and staunch Democrat 1t has not
been bribed, bought, nor influenced by
money. 1t has been exceedingly fsiT
THE GAZETTE is & strong and strenuous
advocate OF high license, and is claimed
on the anti side, although it has never
expressed Itself as to how it would vote
We hope the article in to-day's issue will
be food for reflection to all who read it,
both anti and proh.
Forney Register: There has been g.
marked difference in the policies of the
two leading dailies of Texas, THE
GAZETTE and the News, on the prohi0i-
ton question. Both have pretended to
handle the question from q neutral stand
point and while we think neither have
adhered strictly to this policy, we much
prefer THE GAZETTE, not from its seem
ing leaning to the side of prohibition, for
we are free to confess that if there hiss
ever been line in it fayoring prohibit
ton, it has escaped cur observation, but
because it has made consistent fight
all through the canvass, against the
Democratic party, IS party, taking
sides in this question, while the News
has persistently knocked out all the
issues presented by the advocates Of anti
prohibition, save one alone, and that WAS
that 1t was un-DemocratiC. In so far as
all other Issues are concerned the News
has been as good prohibition paper as
we could have asked FOR, but that it has
been the ablest advocate Of the whisky
traffic is evidenced by its shreWdness in
foreseeing that without the cid of the
party lssh, the anti cause was assuredly
lost. Aud that its foresight was very
clear Is ebundantly proven by the fact
that during the past ten days OF the can
yass, the party lash has been applied
in every conceivable manner, to the aban-
donment of al other issues.
To sum up, THE GAZETTE has manfully
stood By this proposition, that no matter
which side wins in this contest, the Dem
| ocratic party must be saved intact, while
the News has persistently advocated that
the Democratic party might 60 to the
d., prohibition must be defeated. Per
hsps we can account for the difference in
the policy Of the two papers by calling to
mind the fact that THE GAZETTE has
always been considered reliable Demo-
cratic journal, while the News, although
st present supporting the present ad-
ministration, has never been accused OF
; being hurt with Democracy.
